Georgia began doubles play with a win on court three via default from
Mississippi State. UGA then took an early 1-0 lead after clinching the doubles
point as the nation's No. 6 duo, Chelsey Gullickson and Nadja Gilchris, posted
an 8-0 victory against Roseline Dion and Naomi Tran of MSU at No. 2. Alexandra
Perper and Olesya Tsigvintseva posted MSU's only victory of the day with an 8-5
win at the No. 1 position against Georgia's Kate Fuller and Lauren Herring.

With only five available players, State was forced to default on court
six, giving Georgia a 2-0 lead. UGA remained in command as singles play
continued, posting wins on courts three, four, and then two. At the No. 3
position, Georgia's Gilchrist defeated the MSU freshman Tran 6-0, 6-1. UGA's
Lilly Kimbell posted a 6-0, 6-0 triumph against Petra Ferancova at the No. 4
position to clinch the UGA win.

Perper provided hope for a Lady Bulldog victory by winning her first set
against No.11 Chelsey Gullickson 6-4 at the No.1 position. Gullickson took an
early 2-0 lead in the second set, but Perper was able to fight back to gain a
3-2 lead. Gullickson ended up securing a 6-3 victory in the set, forcing the
match to go into a super tie-break decision for the third set. The lead
fluctuated back and forth until Gullickson was able to hold her ground and take
a 6-4 lead. From that point on, Gullickson maintained control, taking the match
in a 4-6, 6-3, 1-0(4) decision.

Lady Bulldog tennis will take to its home courts once
again as they take on No. 8 ranked Tennessee at 1 p.m. this Sunday.
